Chada Katavi Camp

Chada Katavi Camp is situated in the core of Katavi National Park, reputed to be one of the wildest places on earth. From its elevated vantage point on a peninsula that rises out of the miombo woodland, the camp is perfectly positioned for panoramic views over the Chada plain. The canopy of acacias, kigelias and tamarinds are a popular source of shade and food for the abundant bird and animal species that inhabit the region, creating world-class game viewing opportunities, almost without you having to leave the camp.

But the true wonder of Chada Katavi awaits when you venture out to meet the animals face to face. From Chada Katavi you can take your pick from game drives in open 4 wheel drive vehicles, walking with an armed guide, fly camping out for the night under the stars or simply enjoying soaking it all up from your tent veranda.

With a maximum of 12 guests in camp at any time, you are guaranteed as much privacy and isolation as you wish. Chada Katavi Camp is a traditional safari camp whose six double tents have spectacular views and complete privacy with large, comfortable beds. Private bathrooms are set at the rear of each tent. Long drop safari toilets and bucket showers with hot and cold water are available on demand. There is a large mess tent and separate library tent. Fireplace and dining takes place under the stars.  

Highlights

  • A remote location in a very little-visited reserve.
  • Amazing views over the Chada plain.
  • Superb game watching opportunities here.
  • Small, traditional safari camp - not luxury, but very comfortable.
